The […]

Meeting Abstract 71-3  Monday, Jan. 6 08:30 – 08:45  Evidence for heritable variation in the songs of Alston’s singing mouse BURKHARD, TT*; PHELPS, SM; University of Texas at Austin; University of Texas at Austin tburk@utexas.edu Advertisement vocalizations can attract mates, deter rivals, aid in species recognition, and drive reproductive isolation. Because adaptation relies on heritable variation, examining […]

Meeting Abstract 71-6  Monday, Jan. 6 09:15 – 09:30  Comparative kinematics of Phylloscopus warbler territorial display behaviors FIALKO, KY*; PRICE, TP; University of Chicago; University of Chicago fialko@uchicago.edu The relationship between animal signals and signaling environment is an active area of research, especially with regard to the adaptation of animal color with respect to visual environment. Recent […]

Meeting Abstract 71-2  Monday, Jan. 6 08:15 – 08:30  Birdsong for human(e) voices: Building efficient voice prostheses inspired from bird vocal system PROVINI, P; Centre for Research and Interdisciplinarity, Paris, France pauline.provini@cri-paris.org Our voice is used to communicate but also defines our identity. Thus, a voice alteration can cause emotional and social issues. Patients suffering from an […]

Meeting Abstract 71-4  Monday, Jan. 6 08:45 – 09:00  An R package to measure the similarity of natural sounds via mutual information RODRIGUEZ-SALTOS, CA*; RAMSAY, G; MANEY, DL; Psychology Department, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia; Department of Pediatrics, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia and Marcus Autism Center, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta, Georgia; Psychology Department, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia […]

LOTT,D.B.; ACKERMAN,R.A.*: Thermal dose and embryonic sex determination in Chelydra serpentina. The thermal dose (degree hours) necessary to determine the sex of Chelydra serpentina embryos was assessed over two nesting seasons (1996,1997) using programmable incubators. A total of 48 clutches from Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Louisiana were divided among treatments and among experimental boxes within […]

HATLE, J.D.*; BORST, D.W.; ESKEW, M.R.; JULIANO, S.A.: Maximum titers of vitellogenin and storage protein occur during the canalized phase of grasshopper oogensis Many organisms meet the challenge of unpredictable environmental conditions by remaining developmentally flexible early in their development and only later enter a canalized (inflexible) phase of development. Our ultimate goal is to […]

Rimkus, T.A.*; Siebert, C.A.; Selby, D.M.: Lead analysis of snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) hatchlings exposed to lead nitrate at various times during incubation. Eggs from three female snapping turtles were incubated in sand with a water content of 4% by mass. This is equivalent to being exposed to a water potential of -7 kPa. Three […]
